Creating a Namespace in Your Organization

Create a namespace for your organization by registering a namespace prefix.

If you’re not creating managed packages for distribution then registering a namespace prefix isn’t required, but it’s a best practice for all but the smallest organizations.

Your namespace must:
  • Begin with a letter
  • Contain one to 15 alphanumeric characters
  • Not contain two consecutive underscores

For example, myNp123 and my_np are valid namespaces, but 123Company and my__np aren’t.

To register a namespace:
  1. From Setup, enter Package Manager in the Quick Find box and select Package Manager.
  2. In the Namespace Settings panel, click Edit.

    After you’ve configured your namespace settings, this button is hidden.

    Note

  3. Enter the namespace you want to register.
  4. Click Check Availability to determine if the namespace is already in use.
  5. If the namespace prefix that you entered isn’t available, repeat the previous two steps.
  6. Click Review.
  7. Click Save.
